In yesterday’s U.S. currency trading, the U.S. dollar weakened as the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note fell from 3.1%. The EUR/USD pair rebounded by approximately 120 pips from 0.9913 to 1.0027, moving above the 20-period moving average (MA) on the 4-hour chart.During today’s Asian session, the pair continues to test higher levels. Since it is currently at a level that coincides with the 200-period simple moving average (SMA), we will be watching closely to see if it can break above the 200-SMA during the European session.
European currencies saw the euro face less upward pressure as natural gas prices fell, and the euro/Australian dollar pair rose from 1.4442 to 1.4557.As the pair continues to test the upside during today’s Asian trading session, we will be watching closely to see if the rally continues. Additionally, since Germany’s preliminary consumer price index is set to be released today, we should be mindful of any price fluctuations triggered by the preliminary data.
